The Matterhorn Zermatt, Switzerland - Mountains

Scenic, Mountaineering, Hiking

It is precisely here, in the miniature village of Zemratt, where the nature-loving climbers can make a perfect start of their trips into the grand kingdom of lofty Alps. There are over 400 kilometers of mountaineering trails, footpaths and walks that will trek you to the awe-inspiring natural wonders, stun with craggy alpine landscapes and make you feel small and humble at the base of the sky-cutting Matternhorn. Though the hill is not Switzerland's highest, it definitely is the best known alpine peak and a challenge for many with its 4478 meters and sheer climbs.
